Three people have been reportedly shot dead after an unidentified gunman opened fire on the office of the Federal Security Service, the FSB, Russia’s main intelligence agency, in the heart of Moscow.
According to Russian media reports, the man attacked the reception of the Lubyanka building, home to the FSB and its communist-era predecessor the KGB. The victims were described as federal security guards.
The assailant reportedly fled and barricaded himself in a neighbouring building. The security services then shot him dead. They were seeking to establish his identity, the news service Interfax reported.
